About this listen

Lucy, a teenage girl from the West Indies, comes to North America to work as an au pair for Lewis and Mariah and their four children. At first glance Lewis and Mariah are a blessed couple—handsome, rich and seemingly happy. Almost at once, however, Lucy begins to notice cracks in their beautiful facade.

With a mixture of anger and compassion, Lucy scrutinizes the privileged, facile world of her employers while comparing it to the vivid realities of her home in the Caribbean. Lucy has no illusions about her own past, but neither is she prepared to be deceived about where she presently is.

In this environment a new person unfolds: passionate, sexually forthright and disarmingly honest. In Lucy, Jamaica Kincaid has created a startling new character: a captivating heroine possessed with clear-sightedness and ferocious integrity.

Part of the Picador Collection, a new series showcasing the best of modern literature.
